Heimdall
The Bright God, Guardian of Bifrost, Watchman of Asgard, Golden Tooth, The Ram
Some myths say Heimdall (haym-dahl) is the son of giants, while others claim that he is simultaneously the child of all nine daughters of Aegir and Ran. Heimdall visited Midgard in human guise and stayed one night in each of three different houses. Each house treated him differently, and he cursed or blessed their children
accordingly. The result was the three social classes of the Asgardian world: thralls or slaves, free peasants, and nobles. Heimdall’s duty primary duty is to sound his horn, Gjallahorn, and alert all the gods to the coming of Ragnarok. Prophesies say that in the last battle, Heimdall’s nemesis Loki will steal Heimdall’s sword. Though Heimdall is destined to kill Loki in Ragnarok, he is fated to die soon thereafter of his own wounds.
